PS. [size=16pt]HAPPY BIRTHDAY RED!!![/size] (for a couple of days ago)

Heh, you noticed ^^

Where do you guys get this stuff from? :p

Too much free time, I'm guessing.

wel, I personally think that A4 might be small for drawing. I just can't put too much detail on the images drawn in such paper. I can be used if you want to draw only one character, but for compossed scenes, it just isn´t big enough for some details.
Try using A3 paper, with 110g to 150g. It might be big, but you can have your hand move more frelly when drawing.
When you want to draw a particular pose, and you don't know how it might look or how to place some parts, sketch it on a different piece of paper, simple rough lines, but enough to understand the pòse, and then, when you already have the pose you want, draw it on another piece of paper, clean, without the stress marks of constant erasing and drawing. That helps a lot to maintain the image clean.
I would also recomend you to practice, but I will tell you what to practice. first sketch a lot of different poses, many times, so, when you have to draw a particular pose, you already know how to place the guide lines and you don't have to experiment on the definitive drawing. And the other advise should be the one I already mentioned, draw the sketches on one paper, and draw the final drawing on a different papaer, "copying" the pose from the sketch.

I hope this helps you Red.

Well I could try it, but the seperated drawings might be out of my league, but I've been adviced of A3 paper, but I never really know what kind to pick. On Friday, I'll pit up some A3. The problem is I have a A4 size scanner, so I have to learn how to use that as well in a different way that I have never done before.

The seperate paper idea, it's not something I've heard before. Is that something you have tried?

Never really knew what Uncle SL was for or what it was used for, but it's nice to see your still active. Hope you enjoy Amaz0ns

Crystaldrain is a technique that only those characters who are requested be drawn in a hypermuscular fashion know the secret to. ;p

For me, single character commissions like this one are $30 for pencit, $40 inks, and $50 color. Personally, I think my pencils are a lot better than my inks.

Your pencil looks nice, I'm trying to lean something like that too, since someone said that my inking is nice and clean, but also dead.

Is $50 for coloured pencil instead of ink too?

Looks good, seems Sheeri has a rival on her hands ^^ So anyone from that race can drain those crystals or are there more of them?
I wish I could pencil like that.
What is your commision rate again?

Hey red, besides what Jed just pointed out, how big is the paper you use?
the quality of the paper really matters, because on a heavier paper you can erase and draw more, and the paper won't sufer from the friction. Not only does he compose the images on the computer, there might also be some filter or something when he scans the images.

there are a lot of factors besides your style, involved in drawings cleaner images.

Usually use A4 paper(216x279mm), from 80g to 100g.
I can't tell how he does it, if he doesn't tell me, so I have to ask people that have better insight in these things. Hope to get smarter by it.

It looks like he is doing rough drawing in non-photo blue pencil, then drawing final lines in graphite.  He says he's doing his inking on the computer, using either Flash or Photoshop.
Looking at his pages, I would guess he is assembling them from separate drawings on the computer, rather than composing them on paper like you are doing.

Is a graphite different from a mechanical pencil? Just seems hard to get the lines right. I just seem to keep making them bigger and struggle on the paper too, so I guess the surface isn't good either, but some of them have a problem getting the lead to not smudge.

I thought he did it all on paper. But I guess it makes sense, if one thing doesn't work out, then the rest of the page isn't ruined, but doesn't that mean he uses alot of paper as well?

The first one is cool, but I don't know the char (and it's a pity she shrunk in size!

I specially love Fuu 😀 Not just because I asked her, but because it's superb 🙂

^^ Glad you liked it and hope you don't mind me posting Fuu here.

About that other character, just ask if there is something you don't understand about her. She didn't shrink down, that's one of her future selfs(At least my mind, my sick sick sick sick little mind). Or did you mean her height?

Seems you and Gettar are having a nice little conversation >:)

My God!!  😮  Crusher recently told to Gina in jail that she was tougher than she thought and that she had some muscles…  …but it looks like she continued to train hard since that time !!!
                                                         

Be glad I didn't mess with that scene 😉 I know how and I have an idea, so be warned…  Glad you liked it. ^_^

Thanks everyone for the comments.

[Red_Silver]

yup thats the one. I geuss I don't have to go through my stupidly large amount of comic books now  ;D

Would still have liked to see that comic again, along with her wearing Jim's suit, but I think most people will be happiest with this picture ^^
